Description
I participated in a kickstarter campaign to fund the pulse sensor: pulsesensor.com/. I recieved it and it's great but I thought it would be nice to make an autonomous heart rate monitor.
So I added to my arduino a Nokia 5110 LCD that you can get from Sparkfun, adafruit or ebay.
After some coding I had a nice heart rate monitor with text and some nice graphics and thought I should make a case to make it even nicer. After a few minutes in sketchup I had a case for the LCD that I am sharing today.
I also included the arduino code if somebody is interested it is based on the code from the creators of the pulse sensor and the excellent Nokia 5110 library from adafruit (https://github.com/adafruit/PCD8544-Nokia-5110-LCD-library).
Added a variant using TV Out for those which do not have a LCD screen. you will need the TV Out libraries that you can find on code.google.com/p/arduino-tvout/

Is it possible to connect the pulse sensor to an external device, like the one described here, but have the heart rate information saved to a file?

Great project! The graph on the 5110 is upside down.
Instead of
graphy = ymin + SensorNorm;
try
graphy= ymin + (ymax - SensorNorm);

I've also supported that project.
Could you also share the script you've created?

yes that would be no problem with an arduino.
younjust need to connect to an sd card and you can save data to a file onthe sd card.
